Release notes:
** Bug
* [SUREFIRE-49] - Surefire leaves null/$TestNGGroupName
directories after mvn test
* [SUREFIRE-53] - context classloader not always reset to
original values
* [SUREFIRE-54] - Remove use of parent classloader in
surefirebooter but keep TestNG support working
* [SUREFIRE-99] - Surefire plugin fails if JUnit is not available
* [SUREFIRE-101] - Plugin not longer sets system properties when
forking is on and debugging information is not correct
* [SUREFIRE-105] - Documentation link on website does not point
to surefire parameter docs
* [SUREFIRE-106] - Classloading problem for getting a resource
* [SUREFIRE-113] - surefire-providers-2.0.pom contains strange
dependencies which generate error
* [SUREFIRE-114] - Surefire plugin throws NoSuchMethodException
when errors occur during TestSetup decorator
* [SUREFIRE-120] - When you <include> a JUnit TestSuite (with no
test methods), no tests are run
* [SUREFIRE-122] - With forkmode once, XML reports are cumulative
* [SUREFIRE-123] - SurefireBooter can initialize classloader
with badly formed URLs
* [SUREFIRE-125] - Surefire finds test classes but ignores test
methods and configuration methods with TestNG and includes tag
* [SUREFIRE-127] - Wrong issue-site URL on website
* [SUREFIRE-263] - Source repository information on the web site
is out of date
** Improvement
* [SUREFIRE-31] - support junit 4.0
* [SUREFIRE-134] - Display location of test failures/errors on
summary
* [SUREFIRE-135] - when fork is enabled, Surefire should use the
same JVM running Maven (i.e. use java.home sysprop), rather than
expecting java to be in the system PATH
* [SUREFIRE-138] - Add option to redirect stdout from tests to a
file
** New Feature
* [SUREFIRE-129] - add a property to skip tests execution (but
not tests compilation)
** Task
* [SUREFIRE-133] - Review Plugin Documentation
Note: a 2.4 release is being worked on immediately to resolve some
issues with TestNG. This release is being made available to users
having the above problems before that work begins.
